Ep. 73 History and HERstory of Ayurveda

In this episode I discuss the difference between a “masculine” approach to healing, often associated with allopathic medicine, and a “feminine” approach to healing, usually associated with holistic and traditional medicines like Ayurveda. We’ll learn why it is important to embrace BOTH forms in their highest expressions. You’ll learn one perspective on the origin story of traditional healing methods and a little bit about the journey Ayurveda has gone through from British colonization to the present.

In this episode you’ll hear:

~The subtlety of dual philosophy

~The place of symptom-based allopathic medicine

~The definition of what I call Feminine Form Medicine

~The psychospiritual origin of so many of our dis-ease

~A brief history of Ayurveda in India

~Ayurveda today in India and internationally

~The HERstory of Ayurveda

“Learning Ayurveda this past year has been a pow “Learning Ayurveda this past year has been a powerful ride. Ayurveda teaches us to vibe with our body’s natural flow and rhythms. I have started to honor that feminine energy that is within me.⁣
⁣
The wisdom and depth of this ancient holistic healing system not only provide insights into physical health but also offer a profound understanding of the mind-body connection and the intricate nuances of feminine well-being.”⁣

Cynthia is a Fashion Licensing Agent in NYC and a Dog Momma to 2 doodles. She’s currently enrolled in our Level 1 Ayurveda School. ⁣

She writes, ⁣
⁣
“Ayurveda has helped me connect with my true purpose aka My Dharma. Ayurveda has reignited my passion for yoga, and I’m now working towards becoming a yoga teacher and starting Level 2 in 2024. ⁣
⁣
Learning that Ayurveda is the healing aspect of yogic science has brought everything into perspective. It’s teaching me to heal myself first so I can inspire and help others heal too. ⁣
⁣
Realizing that true awareness leads to the recognition of unity and transcending personal limitations is the ultimate goal of Ayurveda. Being a student of Ayurveda is my Self-Care Routine and I want to share it with the world.” ⁣
